Get Covered: Understanding GA Health Insurance Options Now and Under 2014 Health Care Reform

PushPush is excited to present Jim Brown of The Actor’s Fund for a specialized seminar on health care and health insurance options for visual and performing artists in Georgia.

The aim is to give those in the Atlanta arts community a firm grounding in coverage basics, a comprehensive overview of options in the state, and a better ability to make health care coverage-related decisions. Critical to this seminar will be a review of the health care reform and how it affects artists currently and in 2014.

Jim Brown has worked in the performing arts, in social services, and in the insurance industry. He taught in the Drama Department at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts for thirteen years; was a public information officer for disaster relief in the United States and overseas for the American Red Cross; negotiated provider contracts for Aetna Health Plans, Beech Street Corporation, and Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, and served as a managed care regulator for the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. He is currently the Director of Health Services at The Actors Fund where he oversees the Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic and runs the Artists Health Insurance Resource Center website (www.ahirc.org).
